What do poor people most need. It is not money. It is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle. Money won’t make them content. But there is much value in work and having something to work towards. What they need is to be valued and be loved. That is all that is the highest. Serve them and love them. Not to make them a capitalist contributing member of society. 

How do you love people best?

Through listening and just being present for their problems. Showing by example that there is a different way to cope with the stressors of life than what they have been raised to do. And to a certain extant that means putting yourself in their shoes. I dont blame them for being addicted to cigarettes and alcohol. Life is hard and that offers instant relief. But it does not offer true, lasting relief. Christ offers eternal relief. 

The best form of government is a good king. For example King David, Russian Zsars too. Who were religious and ruling with love and justice. That is the best, most efficient form of governance. It is like in robin hood. There was a good king and bad king. The bad king oppressed his own citizens and taxed them into oblivion.  

Jesus is the philosopher KING. Read the sermon on the mount. Read Isaiah’s prophetic words. No mere mortal can attain. But he will come and “the government shall rest on his shoulders and we shall be his people and he shall be our king”. His crown is one of voluntary suffering, a crown made of thorns. That is no coincidence. And his throne was a cross. He was lifted up and fufilled what had been writen of old. He undid the curse. He fufilled his promise to Adam and Eve. And they killed him. We killed him.

Martin luther king junior…they shot him…. Abraham linchon . shot dead…. Brother joeseph… strangled. They must die and rise again. The death on Friday night is a deep tragedy of Good submitting to Evil. But Evil cannot hold down loving kindness. And on Sunday morning the stone was rolled away, and the tomb IS empty. Christ is just the first to do it. The righteous will rise again because death is defeated. Oh death where is your sting? Christos Voscristee!  

Everything worth while is HARD. Faith. Growing a good beard, training for a marathon. Everything good takes time and is hard. Jesus was a man of sorrows, tears, he sweat blood in the garden while his friends slept. Yet this is the cup. And he drank it.

Yesterday I took a risk and it felt so good. Being a man and taking risks are correlated. Cliff jumping!!! Hunting in bear country and sipping water out of a stream, drinking with the homeless. Risk is what makes life…life. Nothing is guaranteed. I could die tomorrow. I WILL die someday. Might as well do something with my life than just sit around passively doing what other people expect of me.

But there is a balance. Pride is a funny thing. I overextended myself. I needed to quit Muay Thai. I was doing it because other people were telling me I needed to fight to be a man. Fuck that. I am a lover not a fighter. That said, I like to fight my friends. As a way of play. Similar to dancing. Fighting and dancing share many similarities. Physical touch. An element of the unknown. And play. At least wrestling does. It is good to wrestle.. Both with men and with women… and with God. It is a game that calls the best part of you and the best part of them to the surface. 

There is a huuuuge difference between wrestling a man and a woman.

Because with one. They are equal in strength and intensity and it is a true battle. But when you wrestle a woman…you hold back and it is a lot more playful. You still show dominance though. That is just natural. But you do not crush them into the ground and choke them out as if they were your brother just waiting for them to tap. I will never tap for a woman. Never. But a man who has bested me, I will tap. It is a humbling thing to tap. Because it is an admit of defeat. And that is good for your soul. It is hard when you lose repeatedly over and over and over and over again. It sucks. Getting punched in the face sucks. Getting your ass beat sucks. But it is good because “the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice”!

Christos voskrese translates to “truely he has risen”. Truly!!!!!! Christos voskrese

I love the hype. It is hype. Russians orthodoxy goes hard and their vodka is incredible. And their culture is beautiful. So is their history. 

Women are a gift. Not ours though. They just are. And that is the great part. So much beauty just for beauty’s sake.

There is truth. Because there are beautiful women and there are women who are not beautiful. Objectively. 

Drunk yet sober-minded. It is all about the heart. And what you speak is an overflow of the heart. Watch what your tongue says and pay attention. Always pay attention. Jesus Christ came to save sinners. Of whom I am one of BIG TIME. I am in LUCK.

Luck is a funny thing. It favors the faithful. Fishing luck. The fish can feel your attitude. Genuinely, If your attitude sucks. It sill impact everything. It is no different from the rest of life.

I have not proposed to anybody. But, I did commit to bitcoin and commitment feels so good. Even though I am a goof. Hhaa I do not even understand the blockchain. Who cares. 

Bitcoin is an ideology. It is not God. But it is the best financial system out there. For the people, by the people. Both BTC and BTC cash will skyrocket in my opinion. It is a gold rush opportunity of a lifetime. And I am not hesitating. -richest man in babylon.

Wealth is not a distributive negotiation. It is a collabrative negotiation. WIN-WIN-WIN. If done correctly. Dont tax the rich. Simply be generous and care for the poor while teaching them the way of wealth.

Do not toil for wealth.- King Solomon (Proverbs)

It is not worth toiling over. Peace of mind is more important. Invest in relationships. For where your treasure lies, your heart will be found there. This does not mean do not get rich. But, do not get rich at the expense of being generous and giving to others. 

People are more important than things. It is true. So true. 

OOH that vodka is strong. I love the vodka at the church it is holy and causes me not to sin. And it tastes good! The russians know what is up.

Speaking of russians……. I love the russian soul and culture. I got a glimpse into it when I read Dostoyevsky. One of the greatest novelists of all time. He was so raw in the Brothers Karamazov and The Idiot. And on top of that, he fueled his lifestyle based on writing. He was a gambler. And I am too, But, in moderation. Espero que sí. 

Keep reading. Keep Praying. The one who knocks the door shall be opened. “Because of impudence the friend came to the door and gave him bread. NOT because he was his friend.”

BE PERSISTANT. TRUST GOD AND DO NOT GIVE UP. 

Because…CHRISTOS VOSKRESE.
